So, today in this post of mine I will be helping you about “How to find long tail keywords.” Although looking for some good long tail words is not a big deal but still who are struggling to find them, I will be helping.

How can you find long tail keywords?

You must be knowing some tools or techniques to find long tail keywords, but I will be sharing all the techniques and tips which I have used until today to find them. I have used Google Keyword Planner, Quora, Google Trends, Search related to and some more.

Google Keyword Planner:

I have been using the Google keyword planner for years. My first step in learning SEO as a beginner was from Google keyword planner and I love this tool. And most importantly it does not do partiality with any user; it gives each person the same and exact keywords shown to the other users.

As competition is increasing day by day but still the marketers are working hard to get better results. And they are getting results no doubt.

The reason they are getting better results because they can get long tail keywords with more traffic and less competition.

You can see in the image that the keyword I searched was only “SEO Tutorials” and planner came with some Google long tail words. Now you can choose keywords with little competition and average or higher monthly search.

You can choose the keywords like

Search engine optimization tutorial

SEO for beginners

These keywords will have better chances to appear up in the Google SERPs as quick as possible.

Note: Instead of clicking on the “Ad Group Ideas,” just click on the “Keyword ideas” one of the best reason for doing it is that it will help you to find better long-tailed keywords. You can find the details in the above image.

Related Search:

You would have noticed, on scrolling to the bottom of the search results in Google; you can find a section which you can name a section called “Searches related to.”

Here’s the screenshot for the same.

This section that is named “searches related to” can help to find the desired keywords and to get more traffic as well.

Just search the keyword which you want to target, and you will get some better suggestions instantly.

You can select the keywords from it which you think will work better for you. These keywords are also termed as the LSI (latent semantic indexing) keywords. Also, the use of these keywords in the post with the main keyword will enhance your article, and there are better chances that Google’s Rank Brain algorithm will rank it on Google’s First page.

In the “Searches related to” section, you will obviously get a mixture of keywords with keyword searched by you in it.

You can see that when I went through the term SEO tutorials, the “Searches related to” shows some great long-tailed keywords. Like you can use:

It is one of the top infographic websites. Millions of users submit millions of infographics each day. But besides that, it has some other amazing features. It also provides you with the opportunity to present your website to it as a search engine and verify it also.

But let’s talk about the features which can help us to get some Long tail keywords as well as LSI keywords.

In the above image you can see that while typing the word, you can get the suggestions for the keyword you are searching. I have always used these tools to find some good keywords and then checking their completion and traffic on Google keyword planner again.

It is the easiest tool I have used to get suggestions for keywords. If you are using this tool, then you need not to visit multiple sites. The site gets its data from Google Suggest, YouTube, Wikipedia, answers.com, Bing, and Yahoo.

Suppose if you are searching a keyword like “SEO tutorials” again. Then the results will be like this (below image).

This tool is a great help because just in one search you will be able to know what kind of long tail keywords are required to rank on Google, Yahoo, YouTube, and Bing.

I always prefer this tool for newbies and to those wants to rank on all search engines but not only Google.

Google Trends is not only my favorite research tool, but I think a tool liked by all the blogger in every niche.

This tool can help you to get high traffic keywords in your niche. The name Google trends itself confirms that we can get any new research on keywords like traffic and competition before any other tool like Google keyword planner.

Another amazing feature of Google trends is that you can check the interest in the Keyword over time.

Just go there and search terms, I am using “SEO tutorials” in this post of mine, so will continue with same. We can see in the above image that how many keywords were searched from 2005 to till now.

And check the above image for which I am writing this post (you just have to scroll down a little to check it). As you can see that there are two related keywords terms. That means that what people are currently searching to the alternate of this keyword.

Quora for some webmasters is a very goo ng source of referral traffic. Even I use it for the same and surely get a good amount of referral traffic through it.

Quora is a Questioning and answering site where you can question and answer about anything (it is similar to answers.com and yahoo answering).

You first have to create an account on Quora. Logging in is an important part because you won’t be able to access any features of the website without providing your details.

Now just search for the search option, on the top of the website, and search the keyword.

When you start typing the keyword like Google, queries will appear up with the different questions already answered or unanswered. But we are looking for the long tail keyword so check the keyword which you which want to use. I would mainly recommend this to writing a better post title.

Once you get these questions or keywords, return to the Google keyword planner that how this keyword is used (checking the competition and search volume).

Keywordtool.Io:

KeywordTool.io is a free and excellent tool which is best known for generating long tail keywords.

It is something like Soolve.com and UberSuggest. This tool also grabs its content from multiple search engines as Bing, Amazon, and Google suggest.

Like soolve.com, the keyword.Io tool provided me with the same number of results like 215. And the results are in alphabetical sequence. You can see the image below.

Another new feature that Keywordtool.Io provides is Search according to the country; you can select the Google.co.In, Google.co.Jp, Google.co.il and or any other country for which you are going to rank the keyword.

I have not used the Hittail although some of my friends have suggested me many times. I didn’t try it because it is paid, not free at all. Most of them say that it helps to make a list of long tail keywords and which is an amazing help.

Hittail is best known for suggesting other long tail keywords for the targeted keyword. Which helps in better ranking and getting more traffic to your blog.

An Extra tool

It is a smart out of the box keyword research and SERP analysis tool for digital marketers, bloggers, and small businesses who are interested in improving their site’s overall ranking. It can help find true ranking opportunities & low SEO difficulty terms to create smart and competitive contents.

Finally, what I want to say:

Long tail keywords have become an important part of the SEO. And using these keywords we can get more targeted traffic. There are many other paid tools for getting this kind of keywords. I would only like to give a little mention to them. Those tools are Keyword Discovery, Word Tracker, and LongtailPro.com. I have only shared the free tools which you can use to find the Long tail keywords.

And I don’t think so that after reading this post you need to search on google for how to find long tail keywords. But if still, you have any questions or queries, I will always be there to help you. And also, if you know any other tool which can be used to find some long-tailed keyword, then help me make this post even more valuable.

Oh such a pleasure you like my trick on how you can also get keywords from google webmaster tool and improve ranking in google and I can say if you play with long tail keywords you can find better positions in google and get more traffic …

Robin Khokhar, You have shared very important info about research long tail pro, Basically, I have no ideas about it, I have used Keyword Planner tools for simple research keyword, but I have read you article really I have learned something new it, I will try them, and I hope these methods working as well.

Hi Robin, The 11 tools for keyword research you listed herein are awesome, but i stick to Google Keyword Planner, it is my number one, and being owned by the search engine giant Google, then i am rest assured.

Hi Emebu, Google Keyword Planner is really good but trying some extra tools is a great help to find long tail keywords. Sometimes Google Keyword planner hides some keywords, which it only shows when we manually enter those keywords. Hope you understand and also thank for stopping by and commenting.

Finding and using long tail keywords should be a regular part of your SEO strategy since it fine tunes your traffic, to not only find your most targeted traffic, but also to eliminate poor quality traffic.

Hey Robin, I read this post the very first day and sorry i could not post my feedback, instead, I think i shared your link all thru my social sites! 🙂 Hey, this is an important subject to deal with seriously and all bloggers should make note of it too! Yes, these days many bloggers especially Pro bloggers use this strategy to get more traffic from the Google search, I am sure this new methodology will fetch a lot of good results to searchers. The key word here is the “Long Tail Key Words” LOL Thanks Robin for this intensive and well-researched post. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing this, I noticed this again today on the pages of Reji Stephenson where your Guest post posted, Great Going! Keep it up Have a wonderful time of sharing and caring Best ~ Phil

Hi Robin, Longtail is the most exciting way to targeted natural traffic. Though often being difficult, once you get those longtail keywords with decent traffic, and having done proper onpage SEO, you will rejoice with the targeted traffic.

You have shared some really exciting methods here and thanks for not keeping it to yourself.

Hi Robin, I just started blogging and am currently working on my first blog. Finding the right keyword surely helps alot and i had been looking for good detailed information about it. I really found your post very informative and thanks for posting with all different methods. I personally think that the Google Keyword Planner is very good as the information is provided by Google itself which is the main traffic source.

Its such as you read my mind! You appear to understand a lot approximately this, such as you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you simply could do with a few % to drive the message house a little bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.

Hey Robin, I am doing blogging from last 3 years and when i checked this post i was shocked because i am using LTP tool to find these kind of keywords easily but here you have shared this awesome method too thanks a lot dear i will stay in touch with this awesome blog. Thanks 🙂

In long tail keyword research Googe KW tool is better to be paired with tools like SERPstat. Gives me greater span and insight into competition level. Long tails can be artificially twisted – Google will show incorrect competition level for such keywords.

Robin, Another tool you could add to this list is the Bing Keyword Research Tool. It’s not very popular but it has lots of long-tail keywords and even gives the search volume (customizable time ranges) for both Broad and Strict matching. It’s definitely worth the time to signup for the Bing Webmaster account just to have access to this tool.

Hi Robin! Awesome post. Bookmarked your article for future reference 🙂 By the way, speaking of LSI keywords I was wondering how do you find LSI keywords for your articles? what are your sources of information?

Thanks for publishing!. I mostly use google trends, quora and soovle for keyword research of my sites. I also use sometimes keywordshitter.com. It’s fantastic free keyword research tool available in the market. It makes a nice addition to your list.

Hi Robin, Thanks for possibly the most comprehensive list of keyword research tools available, definitely worth bookmarking. The one tool you mention that I find clients almost always overlook that is there at their disposal is their own website’s Google Search Console. Obviously, it’s great for technical SEO but can offer so many unexpected keywords that they are already ranking for that has gone unnoticed, as well as the search volumes that they command. In much the same way, it’s well worth having using Bing and Yandex webmaster tools that give some great general SEO insights, as well as for keyword research since they can show keyword rankings that Search Console may not be picking up. Once again many thanks Guy
